I am so excited! I finally am sharing some of our favourite family adventure vacations that we discovered on our 3-month van trip. Our kids may have been little at age 3 and 5 but they still mention the people they met and the areas we explored. It seems surreal that we discovered such incredible…
Lake Agnes Tea House is a classic hike for Calgarians and those visiting Banff. The trail packs in a ton of highlights including stunning mountain views. I think the best part of the hike is that you can sip tea and enjoy desserts beside some of the most famous views in the area. Just make…

It feels like only yesterday we were living the dream life traveling around in Dusty our 1993 VW Eurovan. The trip that ended in December brought our family closer together as we explored 3 provinces and 6 States over 3 months. As promised in the blog post “Finding Money for a Family Van Life Trip”, …
My name is Lila Berg and I am a proud wife to Ryan, mother to Mavis and teacher to many! I love my job as an educator and my new role as “mom” the absolute most. Spending time together with our little family brings me a lot of joy and teaching our daughter to love…
